Hoosiers Ages 16 and Older Can Now Receive Pfizer Booster Shot

Hoosiers ages 16 and older can receive a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine,  if the second dose of the vaccine was received at least six months ago. 

Officials from the Indiana Department of Health say the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the administration of a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine following the FDA’s decision to expand its Emergency Use Authorization to include individuals ages 16 and 17. 

Hoosiers ages 16 and older who want to obtain a booster dose should go to  www.ourshot.in.gov and look for a location that carries the Pfizer vaccine, designed by PVAX, or call Indiana 211. Appointments are recommended, but many sites also accept walk-ins.
